And I will pack their bags. If these guys were in "the real world" they would have been shown the door a long time ago. I was no fan of Chancellor Mitchell but he looks pretty good compared to these guys.

So lately I've found out my name has been passed around the DU office, for some of the reactions to the crap DU has pulled over the last year.

According to them, they are saying I have no school spirit and a friend of mine is worried they might try to pull something on me. I'm willing to do what it takes to stick it to them in the name of my school.

A couple interesting tidbits in that article about Sidelines being replaced by a subway ... one, they say the long-planned Driscoll renovation is on hold (hmmm, financial issues?). They want a starbucks on campus (I guess to compete with the student-run Beans coffee shop) and more national chains

Will Boone be showing up at any DU events this weekend? Anything planned for the week leading up to the opening season? A pep rally or appearance at the local restaurants? Is there a schedule of appearances of our love lovable mascot so we can bring our kids to see him?

One of the problems of having an unofficial mascot is that Boone's appearances are rather random. The University has nothing to do with scheduling him. You have to remember this is just a student attending games in a costume. Scheduling is nonexistent. It's little more than when the kid feels like showing up. Much like his classmates, attendance at sporting events isn't a priority.

I love Boone but it would have been nice to have a mascot at all the games. Even if it was an elk.
